	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SCR 70, Burton.  Senator Ken Maddy.
   This measure would memorialize the late Senator Ken Maddy and
would direct the Joint Committee on Rules to establish a suitable
commemoration upon the grounds of the Capitol Park.




   WHEREAS, Senator Ken Maddy faithfully served the People of
California as a Member of the Assembly from 1970 to 1979, and as a
Member of the Senate from 1979 to 1998; and
   WHEREAS, Through his years of service, in recognition of his
unique skills and dedication, he was chosen by his colleagues to
serve in positions of leadership:  Chair of the Senate Republican
Caucus from 1979 to 1993 and Senate Republican Leader from 1987 to
1995; and
   WHEREAS, As a Member of the Legislature, Senator Maddy left a rich
legacy of accomplishment in diverse areas such as the establishment
of a system of legislative ethics, protection of private property,
criminal justice reform, welfare and health reform including the
Healthy Families Act, reform of governmental regulation pertaining to
agriculture and water, and the reform and reinvigoration of the
horse racing industry in California, a sport which was a love of his
life and to which he was passionately dedicated; and
   WHEREAS, Through his leadership years, he exercised great wisdom
and constraint in resolving fiscal disputes and crafting the annual
State Budget under four different governors; and
   WHEREAS, As an Assembly Member and Senator, he epitomized the
finest qualities to be found in a legislator:  a faithful
representative of his constituency, a man committed to his political
philosophy, a positive force for amity and collegiality, a resource
of knowledge and a source of creativity in dealing with the problems
of the day--a friend, whose love of life and joy in service has
forever enriched the institution of the California Legislature; now,
therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Senate of the State of California, the Assembly
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby directs the Joint
Committee on Rules to establish a suitable commemoration of Senator
Ken Maddy upon the grounds of the Capitol Park, the nature and style
of which shall be determined after due consultation with the Members
of the Legislature, and family and friends of Senator Maddy, and the
cost of which shall be borne by the operating funds of the respective
houses.
